Gum line

I recently visited my dentist and he informed me that I was brushing away my gum line. On my two front teeth my gum line is higher than the other. The dentist said that I need to use a soft toothbrush and not to brush as hard. I started to notice this about a year ago. Now it’s getting worse. I am going to my oral surgeon to see what can be done about this. Has anyone else ever experienced something similar to this?

Even my sister has this problem, when she visited a dentist he advised her to brush her teeth with a baby brush as they are made with soft bristles they are not going to hurt her gums.

My dentist advised me to visit a periodontitis. He explained that this problem is known as gum recession. He also explained to me that this is a very common problem and can be corrected through surgery.

Oh I think even my friend has this problem; if she brushes her teeth her gums bleed so badly. So she usually washers her mouth with a mouthwash and she brusher her teeth only twice in a week. May I have to suggest her to go to Periodontist.
